The effects of gravitation and magnetic field on the propagation of shock-waves in a heat conducting medium are investigated. The shock is assumed to be very strong, so that the ambient gas pressure may be neglected. Gravitatonal effects on variations of flow variable and magnetic field behind the shock-wave were determined numerically, and no significant gravitational effect on these variations is found. The adiabatic exponent for a heat conducting gas is found to play an important role in the propagation of shock-waves in a self-gravitating model of stellar bodies.
